[I don't recall if I've done a post about this before. I may have, so forgive me for repeating myself. Just as well make a new post!]

-- Doing private commissions isn't particularly rewarding to me, though I understand people sometimes prefer to keep things to themselves, or between a small group of furs. I don't draw anything particularly "bad" in these private commissions, since there is subject matter I refuse to draw regardless of whether or not it's shared openly. However, my energy to want to work on things is usually pretty low these days, and posting works or streaming work is a way to encourage doing work in these situations. So when I'm asked to keep things private, that's taking away the energy I'd have to want to work on something, and as I just stated, it's hard for me to find the energy to work right now.

I'm not interested in punishing people. Nobody deserves to be punished, but I feel like a small fee for keeping things private is necessary to try and incentivize getting things done sooner. If nothing else, keeping it private means that I don't get to share something I might be proud of otherwise. It's not about who is at fault, but rather what it is that's going to make getting through the work easier.


-- I'll be adding a $20 charge to "privatized" work, so if you wish to keep it private, know that, as of -TODAY, 3/17/2024-, I will be adding a fee to any closed/privatized work.

Otherwise, know that all work that is produced through me will be publicized to the internet in some form or fashion, at some point in the future.

[Side note]: I've been hearing that Patreon is coming down hard on fan-works of existing properties? I know at least one Discord server that has restructured because the owner said that this was a new Policy to the Patreon TOS - If that's so, I may re-open my SubscribeStar? We'll see...
